Visual Studio找不到'vulkan-1.lib'

Question

I read this tutorial to try to set up Vulkan in Visual Studio. I got to the very end, compiled, and got this:

A few more screenshots:

I'm using version 1.1.114.0 while the tutorial is using 1.1.77.0, which may be at the root of the issue. However, I have not been able to find another tutorial showing how to set Vulkan up like this. How do I get Vulkan to work in Visual Studio?

Answer 1

I believe you must have missed a step in the tutorial. Specifically, look for the text

Next, open the editor for library directories under Linker -> General

in the linked tutorial page.

In the linker Input tab, either use a complete path to the Vulkan library (for example C:\\VulkanSDK\\1.1.101.0\\Lib\\vulkan-1.lib ) or in the General tab, add the location of the library (for example C:\\VulkanSDK\\1.1.101.0\\Lib to the Additional Library Directories entry).

If you can express the values in terms of an environment variable, then you'd want to use either VULKAN_SDK or VK_SDK_PATH , which in the above examples would resolve to C:\\VulkanSDK\\1.1.101.0 . That way when you update your Vulkan SDK you don't need to update your project files, and they'll work on other machines that might have different versions installed.

In the long run I'd recommend switching to CMake for project generation, rather than maintaining Visual Studio project files directly. With CMake, adding a Vulkan dependency to your application is as easy as doing this:

find_package(Vulkan REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(MyApp Vulkan::Vulkan)

You can find existing CMake-based Vulkan examples here or here .
